nkjv James:3:5-10
nkjv@James:3:5 @ Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!
nkjv@James:3:6 @ And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell.
nkjv@James:3:7 @ For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind.
nkjv@James:3:8 @ But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
nkjv@James:3:9 @ With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.
nkjv@James:3:10 @ Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
